Townhouses/rowhouses can also be a good middle ground.

We rented a townhouse for several years before buying our place. If one had gone up for sale while we were looking we would have stayed in that community. It was perfect for us, small community/neighborhood, and the house was just the right size. A two car garage would have been nice but we made it work.

We ended up in a house on the smaller end of what was available and we still think its probably too big for us (great neighborhood though).

Definitely, those and other forms of the "missing middle" that traditionally dominated cities.
